does the m3 use a tire pressure monitoring system?

bmw_guy_2020 · 02-07-2011, 11:52 PM

I test drove an X6 a few months ago and I seem to remember that it had a tire pressure monitoring system. So you can see that the front left tire is currently 32psi, back right tire is 35psi etc.

I think this information might have been displayed on the nav system display but I don't remember for sure.

Do you know if the M3 comes with a TPMS?

Yes.

It does have it. I never used it though.

It has it but you can't see PSI...

You really should learn how to use the

feature here. A search on TPMS just produced 500 results which answers your question by itself.

Also, found out that the TPMS is way more awesome on the e92 because you dont have to reset for monitor... just put air in the damn tire and the light goes off.
